    Default How would you quilt this? SITD or FMQ?

    Ok. I am nervous about posting this cause my Mom comes on here from time to time and this is a gift for her however since I need some input on quilting this I am going to risk it... This is a scrappy diamond table runner with a garden theme fabric. The green represents grass, brown dirt, yellow sun, blue water and everything else is flowers and gardening. She is are really really good sewer from clothing, quilting, home dec ~ just everything but when the spring time comes, she is in the garden! So I hope she likes this, But... should I SITD or FMQ?

    What about lines of waves instead of SID ? That will look like furrows then ..
    Its always nice to be important
    But its more important to be nice !

    Tell someone you love them each and every day

    Hi Jess, What about a random leafy FMQ pattern to go with the garden theme or loopy de loops with an occasional flower design.
    Very pretty table runner too!

    Personally, because of the shape of the pieces, I'd SITD. BUT often times, I'll get in the mood to do some creative FMQ, and just go with it.


    I'm a total fabriholic...please PM me if you are de-stashing!

    Your mum will love her runner, the colours are lovely. I have just started to make my daughter a quilt and it is exactly the same pattern as yours, large diamonds. I will be SITD mine or outline quilting it (think that's the right term) but that's because I can't FMQ yet, so straight lines it has to be for the time being.

    Jess, I LOVE it! The colors are fabulous!
    Is there a pattern you can share?
    I really need to get off the exclamation point.
    It may give people the idea that I'm bright and cheerful all the time....
